Abstract:

Novel single-crystalline ZnO–Sn:ZnO (SZO) core–shell nanowires and ZnO–Zn2SnO4 (ZTO) comblike nanocomposites were synthesized by thermal chemical vapor deposition at a low temperature of 650 °C. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy show the diameters and lengths of the core–shell nanowires are in ranges of 25∼60 nm and 300∼500 nm, respectively. The atomic ratios of Sn to (Zn+Sn) in the central and shell parts of the nanowire are 0.4 at.% and 6.1 at.%, respectively. The ZnO–ZTO comb-like nanocomposites possess ZnO nanocombs with ZTO nano-layers deposited on both sides of them. The ZnO branches and ZTO layers are single-crystalline wurtzite and spinel structures growing along the [0002] and [111] directions, respectively. Room-temperature cathodoluminescence measurements show the nanocomposites exhibit strong ultraviolet (UV) emissions at 300, 384 nm, and a broad green emission. The novel luminescence shows promising singularity for opto-electronic applications.

'Oligopoly, Inc. 2005' serves as a reminder that what looks like buying and selling between countries is most often the redistribution of capital among subsidiaries of the same parent multinational corporation.
In a very real sense, technology is poised to surpass trade as the defining feature of comparative advantage in the 21st century. While corporate concentration dominates commodity trade, proprietary technologies spanning multiple industrial sectors are the royal flush - the winning hand that beats all

Economic Trends
What if I told you there was a global economic movement afoot. You will not see it in pop up ads or billboards in cities, although it has been in the news, in books. It is primarily spread through the grape vine. This is a grapevine and an attempt to spread the word.
Here are some reviews and books to read:
MIT profiled this new science as one of the 10 technologies that will change the world.
Harvard Graduate Business School now teaches this business model as the emerging business model for the 21st Century."
The company that holds the rights and stewardship of this new technology has chosen this business model that provides for the redistribution of wealth
